In an effort to reach as wide an audience as possible, the Boundary County Library created Library in a Box. We have dispersed boxes of free books throughout the county. The rules are simple: Take one, bring it back whenever, pick another. We frequently re-stock the boxes, so there is no pressure to return the books right away.
Current Locations Include:
-
Bonners Ferry Kaniksu Health Clinic
-
Bonners Ferry Victim Services
-
The Boundary County Food Bank
-
Porthill Mercantile
-
Elk Mountain Farms
-
Hope House
-
Good Grief Grill & Grocery
